The De Niro family is mourning a tragic loss as Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, the 19-year-old grandson of Robert De Niro, has passed away. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, Rodriguez was also an actor and appeared in the 2018 film A Star Is Born alongside his mother, Drena De Niro, as reported by CNN. Drena paid a heartfelt tribute to her “beautiful sweet angel” in an emotional Instagram post on Sunday, expressing her struggle to cope with his loss. She shared, “I don’t know how to live without you but I’ll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama. You were so deeply loved and appreciated and I wish that love alone could have saved you.” Robert De Niro issued a statement expressing his deep distress over the loss of his beloved grandson.
The cause of death has not been disclosed, but TMZ reports that Rodriguez was found dead in a New York City apartment and an overdose is suspected. When Robert De Niro married Diahnne Abbott in 1976, he adopted Drena, who is Abbott’s daughter from a previous marriage. Friends and colleagues, including Naomi Campbell, offered messages of condolence to Drena on Sunday, as reported by Deadline. Campbell wrote, “Drena heartbroken for you, such a duo, I can’t imagine how you must feel, may the Lord cover you and hold you in his arms, at this very sad time and loss.”
